a bit longer, until Ryadovoy finishes his business. Collect and send correspondences (always with the notation: To Lenin) and materials, especially from workers. We disagree with you on particulars, for I, of course, would only be glad for a conference. But, really, it's not worth the trouble; it would be much better to issue a statement from the bureau immediately and without delay, for concerning its personal composition we shall easily come into conflict, and conflicts on this ground are inevitable. And once the bureau announces itself, it will quickly be recognized, and it will begin to speak in the name of all the committees. Think about this once more carefully and answer as soon as possible.
